Refreshed NT Disability and Inclusion Awards launched in Alice Springs
The Northern Territory Disability Inclusion Awards offer an opportunity to recognise and promote the exceptional contributions by individuals, groups, and organisations who are working to create an inclusive Northern Territory where people with disability are valued, respected and can contribute to community, no matter where they live.
A video at the launch from the Honorable Ngaree Ah Kit said the prestigious awards align closely with the outcomes of the Northern Territory Disability Strategy 2022 to 2032.
“Our vision is for all Territorians to enjoy a safe, accessible, and economically secure Northern Territory where disability is never a barrier to full participation and inclusion.”
This Award recognises a person with disability who has made a significant contribution to supporting and promoting the human rights of people with disability — to exercise choice and control in their lives and build their capacity to do so.
Excellence in Supporting Inclusion and Participation
This Award recognises the significant contribution of an individual, team, business or organisation to improving the community inclusion and participation of a person with a disability.
Excellence in Innovation
This Award recognises an individual, team, or organisation that has developed new or innovative approaches to ensuring people with disability can access services, facilities or information.
Excellence in Supporting Employment Outcomes
This Award recognises organisations and mainstream businesses and clubs contributing significantly to employment outcomes for people with disability.
Excellence in Supporting Mental Health disabilities and recovery programs (Psychosocial Disability)
This Award recognises an individual, team or organisation that has provided high-quality, individualised, recovery-focused support to ensure the highest possible outcomes for people with psychosocial disabilities.
Finally, a best overall Award will also be presented.
Nominationsforms can be accessed at ntdsa.org.au
The criteria are available on the ntdsa website.
Nominations close on Friday 30 September. Winners will be selected by an independent panel and announced at an Awards Ceremony at NT Legislative Assembly on Friday, 11 November.
National Disability Services sincerely thanks the Northern Territory Government as the major sponsor of the Awards.
We also thank the generosity of our Category Sponsors who helped make this possible.
